3 things to watch this weekend: Watford smells blood at Stamford Bridge

Tom Cleverley, who produced the match-winning goal in Watford's victory over Arsenal, admitted to detecting weakness, saying, "You smell a little bit of blood. I felt we were on the front foot and I gambled a bit for the goal. If you were a bit more wary of a team, then maybe I wouldn't have done."

Arsenal's lack of "cojones," as Troy Deeney put it, is the type of weakness that Watford exploits, and the Hornets will be more like bloodhounds at Chelsea on Saturday, boasting a two-point advantage on the Blues and ready to pounce on a club that is showing frailty. Elsewhere, Manchester City will search for seven more goals versus Burnley, while Huddersfield Town will face its second major test of the season as Manchester United invades John Smith's Stadium.

Watford out for blood at Chelsea

Watford's last-gasp triumphs are becoming a weekly occurence. The last three matchdays saw Richarlison score a 90th-minute winner at Swansea City and a 95th-minute equaliser at West Bromwich Albion, and Cleverley tally a winning goal in the 92nd minute versus Arsenal. The Hornets are the Premier League's underdog story this season, and Chelsea, winless in its last three games in all competitions, should be worried.

The rise of Watford is coinciding with a drop at Chelsea. Through the first eight matchdays of the Premier League season, the Hornets tallied 10 points on the road. Meanwhile, the Blues dropped eight points at Stamford Bridge. It seems like the Champions League is taking a toll on Antonio Conte, who admitted that his club is in the process of "rebuilding" amid reports of senior footballers who are unhappy at the training workload.

Any feebleness on Chelsea's side of the pitch will go punished by Watford, who will be buzzing if the Hornets can conquer Stamford Bridge.

City's bulldozing could meet resistance against Burnley

City is averaging no less than 3.625 goals per game in the Premier League this season, Kevin De Bruyne is establishing himself as one of the best footballers on the planet, and Pep Guardiola is refusing to settle for anything less than the most fluid football. It doesn't look good for Burnley, who will travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, hoping to avoid Stoke City's fate.

That being said, if any club can contain City, it's Burnley. The Clarets kicked off their season with a victory at Chelsea and beat Liverpool in September. Under Sean Dyche, the seventh-longest-serving manager in England, there's a belief that they can overcome the United Kingdom's best, even if a little bit of luck is needed.

"City have looked fantastic, you've got two superpower clubs in Manchester at the moment and they are in front," Dyche said. "You are up against a collection of some of the best players in Europe. Quite obviously it is a big task but I don't think we should change too much, we have to believe in what we do. And we'll need a bit of luck to go our way, if I'm being honest."

Huddersfield hoping Steve Mounie can leave Mourinho crying

Huddersfield's impressive start to the season feels like a distant memory. The Terriers are winless in their last five Premier League games and without a goal in their last four matches in all competitions. They suffered a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur and a 2-0 loss at Swansea. Surely, United isn't the ideal opponent to face with the hope of returning to winning ways.

But David Wagner isn't one to park the bus, and, with Steve Mounie back in the squad after training all week without any issues, Huddersfield might be able to rely on the Terriers' record-signing for a goal or two. It was the Beninese striker who scored two goals in their 2-0 win at Crystal Palace, and their goal-scoring drought can be blamed on his absence.

Expect Jose Mourinho to cry about injuries in the event that Huddersfield gets a result.
